Application Note
RTD cables transmit or extend the signal produced by Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and are commonly constructed with copper-stranded wire coated with materials like nickel, silver, or tin to reduce added resistance in the temperature measurement signal and endure various environmental conditions.
